TOMAS CERNY has admitted watching Hamilton struggle as he sat in the stands has been his most difficult experience during his time at the club.

The Czech keeper was crocked during the 2-0 win at Morton on October 15 and only just returned to action in last Friday’s 1-0 victory against Partick Thistle at New Douglas Park.

Cerny missed 10 games, of which Accies lost five, and he said knowing he couldn’t do anything about it was frustrating.

He said: “I’m happy to be back playing in the team for the last two games because it was a very long break.

“I’m not used to it, I’ve never been injured before, so it was a very difficult time for me.

“It was really frustrating because I was doing well, I thought, when the injury happened and we were one point behind Ross County.

“The worst part of it was coming to the games and us losing. I could hear everyone being disappointed and things like that, so they were probably the worst moments I’ve experienced at the club, watching us losing from the stand.”

Cerny was delighted with the 1-0 win over Partick and felt there were positives to be taken from Tuesday’s Scottish Cup defeat against St Mirren ahead of Saturday’s match with Ayr United.

He said: “The game at Ayr is a big one for us and we will go there and try to get three points.

“We are capable of doing that if we show the same determination and quality we showed against St Mirren.”
